NO APOLOGY TO OFFER.

One continued and embitter.
ed newspaper warfare has been
and is still existing be-
tween the editors Of the Washing
ing, ID. c. BEE and Peoples Ad-
vocate. The BEE being constant
and uncompromising advocate Of
Matthews cause, while on the con-
trary, the Advocate has been
equally firm and outspoken in its
loud applauds Of senator's, at the
same time pouring continued
stream of concentrated in
vection on the political head fhis
contemporary Chase, of the BEE,
who never fails to hit back every
time, using (Ingalls) "the Kansas
bean pole," with which he makes
ten strike. Worse than was ex.
pected, the lie is being given by
one to the other it seems with :mpu-
nifty. The country had hoped bet
ter things at the hands of the gen.
tlemen in question, and would fain
recommend a halt. Is there no re-
straint ?-s'The Cyclone"
Our esteemed contemporary
will no doubt admit, that our de-
fense of Mr.. Matthews was based
upon principle above earthly dig
mites, while the opposition of our
contemporary was prejudice and
spite to satisfy the splen of few
District democrats. We have no
apology to offer for what we have
said.

THE PRESIDENT.

The politicians may say abou
the president what they please
but, every sensible person in this
country knows that he has made
less havoc than Mr.. Blaine would
have made had be been president
of the United States. Admitting
that he is democrat be has Ger
tainly proven himself to be q
friend of the colored people. 1t
is our duty as race to give Mr.
cleveland such credit as be deserves
Notwithstanding the fact that he
is at the head of the great dem.
ocrat C party. 1t is becoming ID
notorious fact, that the moment
the republican party fluids that the
Negro cannot be used any longer
as political chattle, it will have
no use for him. This is the time
for the colored voter Throughout
the country to exercise his politi-
cal independence and demonstrate
the fact that he is not the political
serf or slave of any party or set of
men. If Mr.. Cleveland continues
to recognize the colored people
and prot, CT them in their civil and
political rights, what more can
we ask of him? 1t is not expec;-
ed that he will give us the earth,
nor are we to ask more than what
We deserve considering the fact
that we did nothing TO aid his
election We are of the opinion
that the time is not far off when
the colored man will be looked
upon as an important factor by
the whole democratic party. It
will take a little time before the
party will be educated in this
theory, but, it is found to be
realized. We claim that the COL
ored race has paid its gratitude
10 the republican party; we claim
that the colored race owes more
to itself than 10 any political
party in this country. If the DEM
ocratic party as a whole We're as
wise as the president the suprema-
cy of the party would be perpet-
uated.
The spoilsmen of the
party don't look any fur
ther than for official recognition.
There has never been a demo.
cratic President that has shown
the political sagacity of Mr..
Cleveland, and it is hoped that
our colored countrymen will
embrace the opportunities afored

the above named association, on
any day that may be decided on
from 2 to 5 p. M, at half price, aa
similar arrangements had been
granted to attend the Aztec
and other fairs given under the
auspices OF the whites. Our purpose
was for them to be instructed by
the works of art there on exhibi>
tion done by our colored youths
OF the District Of Columbia. Prof.
Gregory, Mr.. Ross, and other
gentleman of the Beard So ke
very favorably Of the proposition
and no doubt 1t would have been
carried had not one opposed it
whom the people have continual-
ly elevated to positions of trust
and respect from a waiter to his
present position. His actions con-
vince me that all men are not
adopted to fill places of distinction.
He is man whom I have never
personally known to do one soli-
tary thing to promote the interest
of the schools as a whole either
morally or Intellectually.

miles. At this writing there is a
decided change, though in the
life of this march trameIled lit
tie town, it bids fair now to
become very respectable sized
place, & that in very short time.
Arkansas is the mecca for the
colored man. Ii elsewhere he
meets with poor luck, and is un-
able to gather about him home
by industry. let him just emigrate
to the state of Arkansas and "air
his ambition" and we guarantee
that his ultimate wishes will never
be disappointed and eventually
a shining Providence will really,
for once, appear to guide the earn
est worker.
Among the most notable men
we have in our enlightened coun.
ty is Hon. d. w. Lewis, colored
gentleman who has distinguished
himself at the bar, and now occu.
pies an honored position, as county
julge-another gentleman whose
great business qualifications are
praised and who is the most pop>
ular clerk ever indueted into Of
flee, is Mr.. David Ferguson, COL
ored man of the right stripe: an
other, Mr.. J. K. Rocks, county
assessor, he is undoubtly the best
who ever held that Office. The
coroner, Mr.. E. I. Jackson, who
is very popular and also colored
man, has the proud satisfaction of |
having only colored bordsmen as
sureties. 1t would be hardly prop
er to close a letter like this with
out noticing an enterprise estab-
llshed here and which is most prob
ably the cause of the changes
that have taken place in our
midst within a very short time,
(aud we wish to candidly remark
that nothing can urge off the
inactive ones of means like the
press.) Through the untiring
efforts of Mr.. j. L. Fleming,
editor of the Headlight, that paper
has ultimately succeeded & is now
IN established fact, and its powerful
and plainspoken manner has done
much good throughout the coun-
:ry. No one eau sum up the ad-
7antages that have accrued to the
own of Marion and Crittenden
county since the first issue of that
PAPER. Mr.. Fleming is very
'oung man whom the colored
ace may yet fell proud of abroad. :!

1t is reported that Major w. G.
Cox, of Mississippi, who is now en-
ployed in the Capital was the first
gentleman TO call a meeting and
request the Senate to confirm Mr..
James M. Trotter for the recorders
Office. Major Cox is reported to
have said to several senators that
they could not afford TO reject the
nomination of Mr.. Trotter as he
served in the army and had the
Grand Army of the Republic be-
hind him. The Major is a brave
fellow and a man who will stick to

mental in having Mr.. Trotter con-
firmed he has knocked the sails
out of Ex-Governor Long Of Massa-
chusets who claims the credit of
